Today is a public holiday in Australia to celebrate our outdated views of society – yes, it’s the Queen’s birthday. Our head of state – a legacy of colonial history that we have not yet been able to throw away. The vast majority of Australians would like to live in a republic with a head of state of our own choosing, but it seems we are waiting for the old British lady to leave the stage before we commit to that preference. I don’t usually know about this holiday, but since last Friday I’ve had a bad flu so I’ve decided to take a break from writing until later in the week. However, I have some interesting things going on.
Taxing Summer School – Update
As I mentioned last week, due to the increase in the number of coronavirus infections in the United States and the travel advisories issued by the Australian government, I have cancelled my travel plans to attend this educational event in person.
This means that the two planned meetings will be difficult – the discussion group and the ones I will now be offering remotely are (times are in NY state time):
Thursday, June 16 10:30-12:00 – Buffer Inventory Method
Friday, June 17th 15:15-16:15 – Thirlwall’s Law (this is about balance of payments constrained growth theory).

As it happens, the day after I canceled my travel plans, I got the flu and couldn’t travel that far anyway.
Weird coincidence.
Enough for today!
